Dear Editor,
Re: “Higher land value should be part of deal,” News, Feb, 19.
I have no interest in marine businesses along the boardwalk in Steveston.
Obviously, neither do the marine businesses. I’d like to stop into a bank or grocery store or another coffee shop as I walk along the river.
Clearly, marine businesses can’t afford to be there, or there isn’t sufficient business to establish marine oriented business on Onni’s property. I think it’s the latter! Business doesn’t locate because of zoning, they go where they can be viable.
Allow them to put businesses into those spaces, currently used for resident storage lockers, that appeal to the public — not businesses that give Onni the best return, but those that attract and provide service to the many people that walk along the river.
